With some entries, images of cast members, probably also cut out of the programs, are pasted opposite the clipping. A handwritten entry above every clipping notes the theatre and performance date. Also recorded are the names of individuals. Since these names do not match any of the cast members, perhaps these are the individuals who accompanied the scrapbook compiler to these performances. Some of the handwritten names are also informal, such as mamma and papa. Most of the programs are of Philadelphia theatres, such as the Broad Street Theater and the Academy of Music, and a few are of New York City theatres.
